    Mandala 4-1-17

    4-1-17 *Created for a friend. My intention was expressing my friend in this art-form* Where to start with this one. From the center emanates a cross, and sections of three in each arm; pyramids and the scorpio symbol above them. The pyramids also seem to have an eye placed at the top. This section then…

    Mandala 3-13-17

      3-13-17 – “Stepping Down” I absolutely love this piece looking back on it at a different time. When I created it, as with most that I create, I become dissatisfied midway through, doubting my abilities, doubting my connection. Recently, I had read a book that covered some of Carl Jungs’ observations of mandalas. When…

    Mandala 1-22-17

    1-22-17 – “Unity” This piece holds a lot of symbolism. The middle part came easily for me and I love how it had a quality of movement to it. However, once I completed the black ring, I became dissatisfied with the whole thing and almost moved on. Somehow I brought it back from there, however…

    Mandala 1-7-17

    1-17-17 – “Live to create, create to live” This piece to me is an expression of feminism. Also done on the fancy marker paper I referred to in my previous post. Most of my cool markers were also destroyed on my canvases, as the tip was too fragile on those pens so this was done…

    Mandala 11-16-16

    11-16-16 – “Breaking Free of Old Strongholds” If you were to ask me, this is one of my top 2 cleanest mandalas to date. It has one of those classic tattoo vibes and the differing patterns and textures are really pleasing to look at. I was given the canvas paper by this guy I had…

    Mandala 9-15-16

    9-15-16 – “Tension in the Eye of the Suffering” This was another mandala that I decided to test out on canvas versus sketchbook paper.

    Magnificent Outcomes 1.) Repeat the exercise from the 1st day. First thing in the morning, write 10 things or outcomes, goals etc. that you would like to have in your life and be grateful for them in advance. Write them as if you already have them, not as if you will have them in the…

    Mandala 9-10-16

    8-10-16 “Formless” Something about color vs. black and white really seems to bother me. I can’t wrap my head around it really. This was done in an orange/red sharpie and a fine tip black one. My favorite part about this piece is the staircase located underneath the lower “swirl.” The rest of it just doesn’t…
